Other worries, such as dependency—smartphone users exhibit “nomophobia” when they happen to find themselves empty-handed are a measure of utility as much as addiction. After all, people also hate to be without their wheels or their watch.

the omission of words
I found the following two sentences in a book.
As is known to all, the earth is round.(There is a verb "be" right after "as")
As instructed in our previous meeting, he has submitted a brief to the firm's architect.(no verb "be" after "as")
When can the verb "be" be omitted? Can I say "as known to all...." , "as is instructed in....."?

some questions about English intonation
I'm a little confused about English intonation. When you read a sentence containing two clauses such as"The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught"， how do you read the word"weeks", fall or rise? Is there a rule or something?
And when do you speak in fall-rise tone?
